[Theron]

The information in this book was educational. This book told me alot about cocaine. Where it was started how it is used and what it did. Cocaine can ruin your life big time. All it takes is one time to be addicted to it. Cocaine can slow your brain down alot. It also can mess up your sleeping schedule. Its one of the worse drugs out there. This book taught me alot about cocaine.
